Scripture: “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain. And God granted his request”.
Title: Prayer of Jabez
Let’s get right into the word of God, In the bible times many people were known for there names. The name was not just a name, it was there character. However Jabez changed that. His name mean pain, yet he prayed a prayer to change his circumstances, and God honored his request.
The prayer of Jabez is really simple but it is powerful. If you are going to memorize any scripture this would be it. Prayer in itself is powerful, but the words of Jabez holds much wisdom. He cried out to the Lord, That shows a heart of worship and truly is seeking the face of God, He asked for blessing of the Lord. With those blessing he asked for his territory to be enlarged. He asks for God’s hand to be with him to keep him from pain or evil. Wow, this is a very serious prayer for a sincere heart. I challenge you today to begin to pray this prayer everyday and watch divine results happen as God grants your requests!
